When art student, Isadora Benson discovers her late father left behind a mountain of debt and a trail of dangerous secrets, she's desperate enough to accept the coldest deal of her life—twelve months as the wife of Nikolai Voss, billionaire, ghost, and the most terrifying man she has ever met. The arrangement is simple. Live in his fortress. Attend his events. Ask no questions. But nothing about Nikolai is simple. Behind his silver-green eyes and iron composure lies a criminal empire, a six-year obsession, and a truth that could shatter everything Isadora thought she knew about her father and herself. As forbidden tension ignites between them and shadows close in from every direction, Isadora realizes the real danger was never the contract she signed. It was the man behind it. Because Nikolai didn't choose her by accident; he chose her for revenge. But somewhere between obsession and possession, something neither of them planned took root. Something raw, consuming, and impossible to survive untouched. In his world, love and destruction look exactly the same. And Isadora is about to learn the difference, the hard way.
